So I’ve been drawing pictures from magazines for years: Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire, Sports Illustrated. As a result I’ve accumulated a stack of sketchbooks on my bookshelf. I thought I would use this as a place to post the ones I like best. Hope you enjoy!

Here is this week’s photo for Monochrome Madness hosted on leannecole.com.au . I took this photo on a weekend trip to Boston recently to visit a couple of my sisters there. Boston Public Library was closed the day we were wandering around so the building was quiet while everything around it was moving fast.

Above is this week’s photo for Monochrome Madness hosted on leannecole.com.au . Over past weekend the old Nicholas building that’s been on the corner in downtown Schenectady forever was finally torn down. A year ago the trouble for the building started when the building next door was torn down and it just became too unstable. Now that the building is gone, I heard stories about when the business was Nicholas’s which I never experienced. I only remember when it was Maurice’s sandwich shop and then Thai Thai Bistro.

Here is this week’s photo for Monochrome Madness hosted on http://www.leannecolephotography.com. This month’s theme was close-up so I did a close-up of the old Nicholaus Building in Schenectady, NY. The building next door was ripped down which then caused the Nicholaus Building to be unstable and shut down the streets around it over the weekend. It’s too bad because that was a cool, old building.
